Sound stimuli: Considerations for the perceptual evaluation of steady-state and time-varying sounds using psychoacoustic metrics

The current dataset provides all the sound stimuli (wav files) to recreate the figures from the study with the title "Considerations for the perceptual evaluation of steady-state and time-varying sounds using psychoacoustic metrics" by the same authors. There are three datasets: dataset 1 for fly-by aircraft sounds (directory 1-Aircraft-fly-by), dataset 2 for pass-by train sounds (directory 2-Train-pass-by), and dataset 3 for sounds from a resonating tube called hummer (directory 3-Hummer-resonances). A brief description of the datasets is included. The reproduction of figures requires the installation of the sound quality analysis toolbox (SQAT) for MATLAB. Use these data: Download all these data, locate them in a local directory of your computer. If you have MATLAB and you downloaded a local copy of the SQAT toolbox (open access at: https://github.com/ggrecow/SQAT) you can recreate the figures of our paper. After downloading and initialising the toolbox (type 'startup_SQAT;', without quotation marks in MATLAB), run the script copy_sounds_for_pub_Osses2023c_to_SQAT.m. This last step is not required but recommended. Subsequently, you can run the toolbox script pub_Osses2023c_Forum_Acusticum_SQAT.m and follow the instructions on screen.Author AO received funding from French National Research Agency (ANR, project: 17-EURE-0017).
